May effectively promote healthy cholesterol levels.
Found to block cholesterol formation in the liver, heart and fatty tissue. Policosanol, which is derived from the stems of sugar cane, has emerged as a clinically proven product to promote healthy cholesterol levels.
Essentially, policosanol promotes healthy cholesterol levels in various ways, including blocking cholesterol formation in the liver, heart and fatty tissue. In multiple studies, involving nearly 30,000 total patients, policosanol was compared to a variety of cholesterol-lowering drugs, such as probucol, fibrates, and the statins, as well as a placebo. Over the course of these studies, policosanol was shown to produce cholesterol-lowering effects within 6-8 weeks of continual use. Specifically, policosanol was proven to lower "bad" LDL cholesterol, raise "good" HDL cholesterol, and balance total cholesterol.
The research suggests that policosanol may lower harmful serum cholesterol (cholesterol circulating in blood) levels, raise HDL cholesterol levels, and reduce the stickiness of platelets, which help blood to clot. The nutrient's cholesterol benefits have been shown to continue their same levels of effectiveness over time.
